Barcelona players 'want' former manager to replace Xavi - not Guardiola 

According to Sport, Barcelona players believe Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique is the perfect man to replace Xavi.

Enrique is an icon at the club, having spent eight years there as a player, as well as a very successful three-year spell as manager between 2014 and 2017, which included winning nine trophies.

The problem, however, is that Enrique is under contract at PSG until the summer of 2025, so they would need to pay a significant fee to appoint him.

But the thoughts of Lucho is an exciting proposition, even though there is a very slim chance that a deal could be done.
